I just finished benchmarking JSON against TOON across several Google Gemini models, and the result :
I found that TOON reduces token usage by 30–40% for lists, logs, and sensor data, This simple switch can cut our LLM API costs by nearly one-third for most data-heavy tasks.

name or email) for every single item, it defines them once at the top, kind of like a spreadsheet. This means the AI has to read fewer characters and tokens.I just finished benchmarking JSON against TOON across several Google Gemini models, and the result :
